Two months. . .

I can't believe it's been almost two months since our little angel joined us here in this life.  I can't seem to remember what life was like without her.  I've been meaning to start this blog since her birth, but haven't gotten around to it.  But tonight I couldn't help but feel so much love and gratitude for this little girl.  Steve was teaching a night class, so it was just Katelynn and I hanging out.  After an evening walk, I got her ready for bed and rocked and sang to her.  She fell asleep, or so I thought, so I put her in her crib.  Ten minutes later she started fussing.  She was having some tummy troubles so I picked her up and set her in my lap.  After a few minutes she settled down, but did not fall asleep.  She lay there staring at me with her beautiful eyes.  And then she would smile.  And stare.  And smile.  Sometimes I would look away at other things, but when I looked at her again, there she was staring.  And smiling.  I think she was telling me she was just happy to be here.  It's such an amazing feeling to stare into the eyes of an innocent tender baby.  She is so full of love, wonder, excitement, and trust.  I only hope I can be worthy of all she brings to our family.
